Is anyone shipping gifts this year? I have one box going out today, and another (I hope!) by the end of the week.
I've had some issues outside of normal receiving items I purchase. Some have come wildly early (according to tracking). Another - "two day" shipping from Amazon, rodered on Black Friday - still isn't here. It's supposed to come today (it's been delayed multiple times).
These aren't gifts, and so doesn't matter when they get here. But I have been concerned about the gifts that I'll be shipping.

I have a couple of gifts being shipped. With everything going on, I plan to order early this week so they get here in time.

I used to buy the grandkids gifts in the stores then mail them in usps flat rate priority boxes but it was a hassle making sure the items fit in the boxes. Past two years I order the gifts from Walmart website then let DIL pick the gifts up from the store close to them or Walmart would deliver within a day or two.

It's so good that they deliver from a local store. Good idea.

It’s perfect for kids especially since they have toys for our great grandkids (dh’s grandson’s kids) and clothes for teens. Also I can load my cart and pay for all of it at once instead of Amazon where each item is a separate charge.

I would have never thought of that. I have one package to ship, but another family member may be headed to visit this person, so I might just send it with them. I really thought Amazon would be much faster after the pandemic, but sometimes it's not. They have a lot of third party sellers on there. It's just a gamble. Something I ordered and wasn't expecting for another week is supposed to be here Thursday.
